Quote:20k criminal aliens released into the community last year alone. There are people whose lives have been adversely affected. Trump has highlighted the mothers who have lost sons and daughters. We are enabling sanctuary cities to completely defy immigration laws. In some parts of the country police aren't even interested in pursuing criminals that are illegal aliens because they know nothing will be done about them. 36% of or federal prison population are illegal immigrants.

 

But news outlets stated that Obama requested the end of sanctuary cities as well...

 

I get it...  Anyone that's murdered and even injured in a situation that could be prevented is tragic.  But I'm just sitting here wondering where the nanny state ends and reality begins.

 

People are going to leave a horrible situation for a better one if they think they can get relief.  Prosecute the owners that are hiring these undocumented workers and things change.  You don't even need a wall.  Just make sure they cannot get paid or get welfare...  The word will get out.

 

Also, I've noticed that we're beginning to not cite sources of where we hear things.

 

Let me start by saying I've googled trump's policies and from many sources (Washington Post, CNN, Pollitico) there are articles that show that Obama and trump's immigration policies are actually similar than what trump is lying about.  I'd like to start asking my friends on the right to at least say where they have heard or read the figures that are provided.  I know it's hard to provide links when responding via your mobile device.  But please at least just start stating the specific place you read or heard the figures you're giving.

 

I'm guilty of not proving sources as well...  So I'm not saying us libertarian/lefties are innocent.  I just would like us to start at least proving a reference to where our information is coming from so if anyone wants to double check, they can.

 

Fair enough, right?
